Psychic

Product Notes

The new single by Chalk Outline Party, hitting national radio Summer 2006 -- pick up a limited-edition copy before they're gone! "Music on the edge" "It's too early to be optimistic, but if Chalk Outline Party's new single is any indication, the Pittsburgh music scene's best days might be yet to come. 'Psychic U.K.' is a song that shows a band on the brink of something rare -- a tight, smart urbane sound, darkly sardonic without sounding defeated by life quite yet. It's a cunning combination of Joy Division and The Cure's early existential gloom-pop, swathed in decadent '70s glam. At the moment, a number of Pittsburgh bands are looking back to Roxy Music and David Bowie to find their way forward, but Chalk Outline Party does it without self-consciously sliding into the 'retro' ditch that's claimed so many lesser bands.' -- Michael Machosky (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
